When the AA were looking for a suitable venue to host up to 600 guests with an outside area that could accommodate an outdoor fireworks display, Emirates Old Trafford’s flexibility and capacity was the perfect choice for their 8th AA Road Contact Centre Awards ceremony.

When the team from AutoTrader.co.uk, the UK’s leading motoring website, decided to hold a conference for its seven workforces across the North West and London the venue chosen for the event was The Point, a stunning £12million development, at Emirates Old Trafford. Leigh Acutt, Head of Events said:

We chose Emirates Old Trafford because we were looking for a Northern venue as most of our workforce is based in the North West. We needed a space that could easily accommodate and implement our challenging agenda for the day, and extremely good Wi-Fi was key as we used our own conference mobile app on the day.

Emirates Old Trafford was once again chosen as the venue for the 6th NW Football awards in November 2013, where the Northwest’s finest and brightest attended a very glitzy evening.

The evening, now a must in the sporting calendar attracted over 450 guests from football and football related services. Amongst the star studded guests were Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher, Everton Manager Roberto Martinez, PFA Chief Executive Gordon Taylor and the Neville family.

Commenting on the night, Laura Wolfe, Managing Director at multi-award winning events and marketing company Journey9 said: “At Journey 9 we care passionately about football and understand the important role it has in contributing to both the Northwest’s identity as a region as well as its economy. Tonight’s event was attended by some of the biggest names in the Northwest, and it gave us the opportunity to showcase our expertise. It was a joy to be back at Emirates Old Trafford, the venue looked amazing and is the perfect backdrop for this unique sporting occasion.”
